Thanks Pedro but do you know if it is the same Holy Trinity located at Camp Hill?

Brummy Lad Thanks for that. The census entry that you show is for his son and family. I tend to agree with you and Lady P and favour the Small Heath Green Lane

I think you're right Lady P. I've a feeling The Green Lanes is/are nearer to Bordesley as in Green Lane, Small Heath.

Thanks. Never did Latin opted for German instead .

Great poem. Surprised to see the word 'caput' in there. I presume it means broken as it does now, but I thought it was a word brought back from the trenches in WW1 (German Kaput) and not in common use in 1843.

The snowflakes falling give this picture a magical appearance.:)

Thanks for that Janet but that's muddied the waters a bit now. Smith Street or Mill st. More investigation I think!

I have just read on an aircraft history site that Don Everall (Aviation) was flying out of Birmingham airport using a Vickers Viking which was based there. They were also operating a De Havilland Dragon Rapide from there as well. This was from about 1951 up until 1960/61 when operations ceased...

Having looked at it again I tend to agree. The "b" is written the same in bench and brewhouse as is the letter "e"
